Random thoughts...(or my head feels like a Cy Twombly painting)

Been in and out of the 'zone' these last couple of days - which sometimes feels like a precarious place to be - one moment 'eureka!' and you just get 'it', the next amnesia....what was all that fuss about? Who knows, but it's all part of the privilege of being an artist I think.

Cy Twombly - Hero and Leanda (1985) image uploaded from Pinterest - original source unknown.

If I could paint the inside of my head on a good day I would like to think it would look like this Cy Twombly painting. Will upload some work-in-progress soon...happy weekend, A x
